Overview
A straightforward home for your stack.
Install Docker on your Linux VPS and bring your own Compose configuration. You own the deployment, updates and application monitoring; PrivateByte provides the server and its included infrastructure features.
Bring your Compose file
Run your web service, worker and supporting services together. This is a self-managed VPS, not an advertised managed container platform.
Size for the whole stack
Account for the operating system, all containers and build-time peaks. A database and background worker need headroom too.
Keep state deliberately
Use persistent volumes and application-aware backups. A server snapshot is useful, but is not a replacement for a tested database restore.
Pricing
Start small. Leave room to grow.
Monthly pricing in USD. Unmetered transfer at the plan’s port speed. Save 20% with annual billing at checkout.

Answers
A few things worth knowing.
Is Docker preinstalled or managed for me?+
This page proposes a self-managed Linux VPS workflow. You install and operate Docker; it does not promise one-click Docker provisioning or managed application support.
Which plan should I choose?+
For a small multi-service stack, assess the 4 GB Orbit plan as a starting point, then measure. Requirements vary; build jobs, databases and additional services may need more RAM and CPU.
Are my container volumes backed up safely?+
Server backups help recovery, but live database consistency requires application-aware backup procedures. Keep independent copies and test restoration.
Can I expose any container port?+
Only expose ports you intend to make public. Follow Docker’s firewall documentation, use TLS for public services and keep database ports private.
